I am just reposting a thread I ve posted under another topic

Hi there,

I've been under false allegation 2 weeks after giving birth accused of wanting to abduct my child. I've received a prohibited step order.I've been to court and I am allowed to go to France to visit my family 3 weeks in January under certain condition.

I' ve never been with the father, I met him last year and had a casual relationship with him from october to January 2010. He advised me to do an abortion but I decided to keep the child.
I also did not plan to prevent him from having a relationship with the child in the future. However I did not want to have any relationship anymore with him myself.

He becgan to harrass me and wanted to come around my place, sending texts and emails attacking me and telling me that we have to see each other regularily because of me expecting the child. I've been advised to contact the police and Domestic Violence to prevent him from harassing me.

I became very scared and I am still, he wants to control me using the child as an excuse I feel sorry for my baby not to be able to be as happy as I should for her.

He is allowed to spend time with the baby but not allowed to approach my house.

I feel very isolated, the court proceeding is not finished yet but I just wanted to talk about the fact that as soon as you are foreigner and expect a child from an unmarried father who is british you have to know that any solicitor would advise a father to accuse you of wanting to abduct your child to get more control on you. It is very unfair as he have all his family here and just have to turn at the corner to see them. In my case I have to go abroad (my country) and everytime ask hom for his pemission.

Has he formally applied for a prohibited steps order? If not, there's nothing to stop you making an application for a specific isssue order that you can take your baby back to France permanently, if that's what you want to do. The court will want to see reasonable arrangements in place for contact, but given your particular set of circumstances, I would have thought you have a pretty good chance of relocating to France.

Even if he has applied for a PSO, you still stand a reasonable chance of leaving the jurisdiction with your baby so long as you facilitate contact.
